Problem Listing files in bash with spaces in directory path

Question

When entered directory into the command line, this:

ls -d -1 "/Volumes/Development/My Project/Project"/**/* | grep \.png$

Prints a list of all the file ending in .png.

However when I try and create a script:

#! /bin/bash

clear ;

# Tempoary dir for processing
mkdir /tmp/ScriptOutput/ ;

wdir="/Volumes/Development/My Project/Project" ;

echo "Working Dir: $wdir" ;

# Get every .PNG file in the project
for image in `ls -d -1 "$wdir"/**/* | grep \.png$`; do
...    
done

I get the error:

cp: /Volumes/Development/My: No such file or directory

The space is causing an issue, but I don't know why?

Answer 1

If you fine with using while read and subprocess created by pipe, you can:

find . -name '*.png' | while read FILE
do 
    echo "the File is [$FILE]"
done

Answer 2

Use more quotes and don't parse ls output.

for image in "$wdir"/**/*.png; do
